US investigates China's access to RISC-V — open standard instruction set may become new site of US-China chip war 🤡
  • Thanks for the insightful comment!

    How do you think an export ban will square with Taiwan and America's one China stance? Taiwan is incredibly important to U.S. chip making with TSMC being the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world. If the ban carves out an exception for Taiwan wouldn't that escalate the tensions? The U.S. is now looking to create fabs internally, but those are still many years away from operating and operating at scale.

  • oh man, poor Zionists can't even get a date anymore!?!
  • Not to defend the Zionist, but he's referring to a single sign, not separate ones.

    Sign reading "No Irish No Blacks No Dogs"

    I thought they were real because I had seen similar images before, but when I went to look it up this article is saying that they were a popular myth so maybe not.

    Fuck Zionists, free Palestine! 🇵🇸🇵🇸

  • The Anglican bishop of Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum, confirmed that the hospital had received at least three Israeli military orders to evacuate in the days before the blast, though he declined to cast blame on either party. The hospital had been hit by Israeli shelling on Sunday, wounding four staffers, he said.

  • Ah got it. Two sources I wish I knew about in the beginning are Xah Lee and Mastering Emacs. I linked keybinding specific pages, but both have a LOT of content and are super helpful. I've never read them start to finish, but just picked topics I was interested in learning about.

  • So you want to come at me with the gulags
  • Thanks! I was looking it over and something stood out to me.

    For comparison, 2.8% of the United States population is currently incarcerated, millions more than were ever imprisoned in Soviet gulags.[1]

    Can I ask where that 2.8% figure came from? That's almost 10 million people and seemed like it was quite high to me. I followed the reference number to a blog which has this quote:

    “In a rather small news item appearing in the newspapers of August 1997, the FLT-AP news agency reported that in the US there had never previously been so many people in the prison system as the 5.5 million held in 1996. This represents an increase of 200,000 people since 1995 and means that the number of criminals in the US equals 2.8% of the adult population. These data are available to all those who are part of the North American department of justice….

    I tried but I didn't see this FLT-AP source in their references section and couldn't find it with a quick Google. This is several times larger than the number reported by the Bureau of "Justice" so I wanted to check the source to see why there was such a large disparity. I'm not saying the figure is wrong, but maybe it would be helpful to briefly explain why there is such a stark difference from the government source.

    Also the prolewiki page says "currently incarcerated" and the reference is referring to nearly 30 years ago. The 2.8% figure could still be accurate, but maybe a different source should be used to back that up.

    Sorry for the criticism. I really do appreciate the work you and the other editors have put in! I know very little about this subject, but feel like I learned a bit by reading the page.

  • I think I might have autism. Is there a point to seeking a formal diagnosis? Are there any major drawbacks? (Canada)
  • The other comments have covered a lot of the potential positives of a getting a diagnosis. Here's an article written by an autistic doctor on some of the drawbacks:

    In short, there's a lot of ableism, so it's important to think about what benefits you will personally receive from a formal diagnosis.

    I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting one if it's something that you want to do you should go for it. I just wanted to share some info that made me think getting a formal diagnosis wasn't right for me.
